I need advice about what to say to my daughter, she is 18 years old and has trouble getting up in the morning. She stays in bed all day and doesn’t get up until the late afternoon and then goes out all evening. I’m at my wits end about what to do, I read in a book that you need to set yourself big goals, but I can’t think of how to say this to her.
I know it’s not uncommon at her age to like boys and partying until late, but that’s all she seems to like. I’ve done pretty well for myself financially and my daughter works for me, except she always turns up very late and never does the jobs that I’ve asked her to do, but I don’t want to cut her off financially as this would impair our relationship, I just wish she would take life more seriously and do well for herself.
What can I say to her? Can anybody help?
